Emma Ridler Hanson, was born in
Woodford Co., Ill., August 19, 1868.
She moved to Oelwein, Iowa, about six
years ago with her people. She was
married to John Hanson a little over a
year ago, and moved to Ruthven, Clay
Co., Iowa, where she died March 5th,
1889. Mrs. Hanson was brought up
in the Baptist church, having all the
religious training afforded in a Christian
home. During last winter she
was permitted to attend special meetings
near her home, at which meetings
she took a definite stand for Christ,
who is able to save to the uttermost
all who come unto him by faith. She
died with a Christian hope. She was
only sick a little over a week. She
leaves a kind find affectionate husband
who did all ha could for her comfort
and recovery. With her husband she
leaves a father and mother, three brothers
and one-sister, besides many friends .
to mourn her departure. She has gone
to the better world, where there are
no trials or pains; where she can care
for her innocent, angel babe, and beckon
her many friends to the home that
is above. She has exchanged the pain
and trials of earth for the perfect peace
and joys of Heaven. The funeral services
were held in the Baptist church
at Oelwein, la., March 7th, 1889, by
Rev. W. W. Carlton, of Fairbank.
